I submit that our present ‘schonl program completely ne- filez'ts to take this difference in- to consideration I contend, all the same time, that a thoroughl ‘ analysis of the present curricu-l . lum for rural children is in order ’ and that the times demand Ii new approach to the education; ‘ of our rural children." ‘ The speaker urged a six- 1 year program. embracing grades ‘ three to seven for each of flies three counties. and in this ser-' ies "t e a c our boys and girls. : a philosophy of rural life. thel ‘ essentials of good production. all good management, of good mar-l kcuu: Show them how g o 0 d. our Island soil really is. how It:

from everybody, from anyone who, when he has no one else to advise, can always advise the farmer; but. they can never see a future. never see a chance to get the bull by the tall even if it is their own bull. There is ale ways a dozen on the tail ahead of them. and everyone swinging the bull in his own direction. “The farmers with whom we are concerned here." the speak- er continued. "produce as many potatoes per as anyone else in the world. they keep an excellent type of milk cow. lhey raise good beef. Their technique

of production is good. But they .

still can 2 see any future in their enterprise. Why? Because so far they haven’t been able to gel the upper hand on their own rte- sliny. OTHERS CHANGE PRICES "They know that the harbors can get together and change the price of haircuts. that doctors can get together and change the price of operations. that dentist can get together and change the price of fillings. that the packers already price of meat. the price of clothing. and that the dealers net the price of po- tatoes. melameI'MyIutp - cc: set by tomdwody also and
